I have a 1997 GMC Jimmy and the air bag light is cutting on and then off, no...

...pattern or sequence, what is it? I was just drivin down the road and the air bag light cut on. I looked back down and it was back off. When I turned in my driveway it turned on again and then back off before I cut the vehicle off. What could this be? I have went out and moved it around the house to see if it was giving a code but there isn't a pattern or sequence to it at all. It is just cutting on and off, here and there.
I had also been experiencing a bubbling noise from the console area. I think I resolved that by refilling the resovoir. It was low.
Any help would be appreciated.

You definitely have a short in your wiring. Unfortunately the wiring is in your dashboard, you're going to need to take the dashboard cover off to get to the wiring. If you're not absolutely sure you can do it yourself it needs to go to a shop. You'll be charged more for shop time then you will parts.Taking a dashboard apart is a time consuming pain in the rear end! Driving your car jostles your wiring constantly which means that all that rubbing and shaking breaks them up as time goes by. It's not imperative that you fix this, your air bag will still work even if the light is on the fritz. Personally I would let it slide unless another wiring problem arises.

It may be a short in the light or it might mean your airbag won't work. Either way it is best to get it checked out.
If you know how to, pull the panel off and see if the wire is touching another wire.
